Insan Himalayanoğlu: It's Time to Defect Quotes

“Lyubimaya (The Sonnet) I am happy - I am happy to see that you are happy. May they give you all the joy, Of which you dreamt with me. I was just a struggling autodidact, yet to be the legend I made myself. How was I supposed to settle down, in the balkans with white picket fence! Partners with infinite patience, only ever exist in fairytales. Yet I feel no grudge whatsoever, as they're happy with their choice. There's a divine bliss in being dumped, at least one is no longer a burden. Purpose of love is to see another happy, not to sentence them to life-imprisonment.”

“All The World's An Asylum (Sonnet 1235) All the world's an asylum, All the people are lunatics. Some are but loonies of love, Some loonies run by prejudice. Some die running in love of currency, Some die sharing the currency of love. Beyond the grasp of dollar and euro, Love is the only nonvolatile currency in the world. It's good to be a loonie, If the reason is justly humane. When human welfare is at stake, It's only logical to be insane. Sane, insane - be as the need arises, To hell with the judgment of nitwits! In an organic world no sanity is absolute, Boldly walk the spectrum as the purpose fits.”

“Love Before Language (Sonnet 1227) أعظم الحقيقة هي الحب ، أعظم قانون هو الحب. أعظم إيمان هو الحب ، أعظم وجود هو الحب. प्रेमसत्यं ब्रह्मसत्यम्। प्रेम विना अस्तित्वं नास्ति।। प्रेमदर्शनं ब्रह्मदर्शनम्। प्रेम विना ब्रह्माण्डं नास्ति।। Love happens regardless of facts, Facts happen regardless of love. When love and facts come together, Magic happens in our veins and nerve. Love before language, Heart before heritage. To unify this broken world, I once took the divine pledge.”

“My favorite language in the world is Turkish, Because its culture electrifies my scars. My favorite language in the East is Telugu, Because its music emboldens my nerves. My favorite language in the West is Spanish, Because it teaches me the worth of freedom. Favorite ancient tongues are Arabic 'n Sanskrit, For one embodies peace, another assimilation.”
